About this location
This Hudson at Gate A4 opens an hour later than NYDF Duty Free, its neighbor at the same gate — 6:00 AM against 5:00 AM — and closes an hour earlier too, at 11:00 PM to NYDF's midnight. The two airline lounges one gate down at A5 split the difference again: Air India closes at 10:00 PM, ahead of this Hudson, while Emirates runs until 11:15 PM, past it. Travel essentials, phone accessories and souvenirs fill the shelves here rather than the duty-free goods next door. JFK has twenty-seven Hudson-branded stores in total, so this A4 stop is one of many rather than a standout.
One of 14 Hudson locations at John F. Kennedy International Airport (Terminal 1, Terminal 4, Terminal 7, Terminal 8).
